Met and made buddies (in my mine at least) with quite a few leps over the years -- estimate it is around 30 or so. But this bad boy was in a class all his own - his very presence reeked mean and badass. When I first met him, he had just dispatched a female baboon and the two big male baboons that came to her rescue. Surprisingly, baboons are not just your average pet store monkey -- they can be incredibly fierce and can put up a really good fight with any big cat. You can see a wound on this leps left flank administered by one of the males.

Wonderful image, Andrew!
I took a 2-week safari in Kenya and never saw leopards. But I was close to a large male baboon, and agree- they are 90 pounds of muscle and teeth. A leopard taking on two of them- and winning- is a very big deal.
